Differential signal transmission circuit

A differential signal transmission circuit, comprising:

• a first output terminal;
• a second output terminal connected to the first output terminal via a load resistor;
• a high-side transistor formed of a p-channel MOSFET and connected between an application terminal of a power supply voltage and the first output terminal;
• a low-side transistor formed of an n-channel MOSFET and connected between an application terminal of a ground potential and the second output terminal;
• a high-side pre-driver configured to drive the high-side transistor;
• a low-side pre-driver configured to drive the low-side transistor;
• a first resistance part connected between an output end of the high-side pre-driver and a gate of the high-side transistor;
• a second resistance part connected between an output end of the low-side pre-driver and a gate of the low-side transistor;
• a high-side diode having an anode connected to a drain of the high-side transistor and a cathode directly connected to the first output terminal;
• a low-side diode having a cathode connected to a drain of the low-side transistor and an anode directly connected to the second output terminal;
• a high-side resistor having one end connected only to the application terminal of the power supply voltage and another end connected only to a source of the high-side transistor;
• and
• a low-side resistor having one end connected only to the application terminal of the ground potential and another end connected only to a source of the low-side transistor.
